SK, Male Karpaty – Krslenica and Cerna Skala
The Male Karpaty mountains are full of beautiful places. This time we visit Krslenica National Reserve near Plavecky Mikulas. In the reserve, there are beautiful karst gorges. Then we go to the locality known as Cerna Skala. We can see there limestone rocks, and enjoy the vista over surrouding hills and mountains. The most distinct feature of the terrain is the nuclear power plant in Jaslovske Bohunice.
